Zentangle Inspired Butterfly

Hello Peeps,

I was so pleased with my Zentangle-inspired bird that I decided to try a butterfly. I like the outer wing treatment in my first attempt, but the inner wing part kind of looks like a creepy spider to me. (yuck) Here it is so you can see what I mean.

Loving the outer wing treatment, for my next attempt I decided to stick with that and give a simpler, more uniform treatment to the inner wing portions. The simple-to-do vines remind me of lace and I really like the result.

As you can see, I did lots of shading on this one. I thought you might like less so you can add your own magic. Here is a lightened version (JPEG) for you to use in your own designs. I would love to see how you colour this up. Feel free to post your creations on my Facebook Page.

About Me

Tickell was my Scottish mother's maiden name. Mum could make clothes without a pattern, sing "Oh Danny Boy" with a lovely trilling voice, carve doll furniture out of balsa wood, make beautiful porcelain dolls and was even a closet poet. Tickell Expressions is the place where I get to express my own creativity while honoring the memory of my very creative Mum.
